木樓寄 [ 跡 ] 甚傷悲
關山渡頭銷愁眉
信音莫達空思想
牢騷悵望早脫離
觸景興懷甚可哀
囚困樓宇 [ 遽 ] 傳來
苛虐 [ 何 ] [ 忍 ] 肝腸斷
月餘遠遊泪滿 [ 顋 ]
祖國亂為惡習彊
頑錮日越逞豪強
誰能團結華裔務
人人華僑放橋梁
接觸離情最可憐
每逢佳節倍思親
遍知兄弟登高處
偏插菜萸少一人

黃祖名題
Dwelling in the Wooden Building, I give in to despair;
Between high hills and the ferry pier, my brows furrow in pain.
Letters do not arrive, my thoughts hopeless;
In bitterness and sadness, I watch for my early release.
Viewing the landscape arouses deep feelings;
Sadness strikes the prisoner in the wooden building.
Harsh treatment is hard to bear, and my heart is breaking;
After more than a month of wandering, tears wet my cheeks.
The ancestral land is in chaos, and vile practices remain;
More and more each day, diehards exert their tyrannical power.
Who can unify the affairs of the Han people?
All compatriots overseas should build a bridge home.
Experiencing parting is the saddest thing;
When holidays come, I remember my family even more.
From afar, I know my brothers are climbing to a high place,
Dogwood sprays in their clothes, short one man.
